"Ghost" Ring in Middle of Display

[mdstaugler]

Hey all,

First time posting. I'm hoping someone can help me. I have a roughly 4-year old LG 42" LCD display (not sure of model). I've noticed a faint "ring" in the center-right portion of my screen over the last several weeks.

It appears most distinct on a white or lighter-colored background, and is virtually unnoticeable in dark shades. Has anyone run into this before or could give me some guidance on a fix?

Thanks very much!

The problem is with the display and this ring size will increase slowly so it is advisable to get a technician from LG and fix the issue ASAP

Thanks so much for your quick reply. As I said, the panel is roughly 3-to-4 years old, so it is long out of warranty. What would a repair like this cost, and would it be more economical to upgrade and purchase a relatively reasonable LED?
